When ten houseguests gather on a secluded island, the situation is ripe for misfortune. One by one, each guest meets their fate. Who's the murderous culprit?

The design team for Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None includes scenic design by Linda Buchanan (Alley's House and Garden) and costume design by Blaire Gulledge (Alley's Intelligence-Slave, Mrs. Mannerly, Underneath the Lintel). Lighting design is by Michael Lincoln (Alley's Boeing Boeing, A Streetcar Named Desire, Hydriotaphia) and sound design is by Pierre Dupree (Alley's August: Osage County, A Behanding in Spokane, Intelligence-Slave).
Dame Agatha Christie, the most famous creator of murder mysteries, was born in 1890 and worked as a hospital dispenser during the First World War. Her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920), introduced Hercule Poirot, the Belgian hero who was to appear in many subsequent novels and plays. Over the next 56 years, Christie wrote 66 novels and more than a dozen plays, including Murder on the Orient Express, The Mousetrap, The Unexpected Guest, Black Coffee, And Then There Were None, and the Miss Marple mysteries - which served as the basis for the films Murder, She Said and Murder at the Gallop and the inspiration for many television programs. The Alley has produced many of Christie's plays, among them Death on the Nile, Witness for the Prosecution, The Mousetrap, Black Coffee, Spider's Web and Towards Zero.
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is sponsored by Presenting Sponsor ExxonMobil. The Alley Theatre is supported by the 2011-2012 season sponsor United Airlines, the official airline of the Alley Theatre.

How Verstappen can be F1 champion in Saudi Arabia
By Matt Beer
While so much focus has been on Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes' current momentum, it's Max Verstappen who actually has the chance to become 2021 Formula 1 world champion in the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
If he can extend his eight-point lead by 18 to 26, nothing Hamilton does in Abu Dhabi can deny the Red Bull man the crown.
Nov 21 : Qatar Grand Prix review
Countback won't be a factor as Verstappen already has nine wins to Hamilton's seven, and there are no mathematical scenarios in which they'll be equal if Hamilton wins both of the remaining races, given the points gaps involved.
As the graphic below shows, Verstappen has four routes to the title:
But anything below second for Verstappen means the fight goes down to the wire, and fastest lap could play a significant difference in whether the title's settled early – but only if Hamilton is in an unusually low position already.
That said, the chances of Verstappen getting an 18-point swing in his favour in a single race are statistically low.
Hamilton's undeniable peak vs Verstappen's greatest strength
It's only happened once this year: when he won while Hamilton had a poor weekend in Monaco and finished only seventh, meaning an 18-point gain that day.
The only other comparable points swing in this title fight came at Silverstone, thanks to Hamilton winning a race their collision took Verstappen out of. Incorporating the sprint scores as well, that was a 24-point net gain for Hamilton at home – who then gained 16 in Hungary next time out as Verstappen limped to ninth in a car damaged by Valtteri Bottas' first-corner error and Hamilton was eventually awarded second after Sebastian Vettel's exclusion.
Mercedes can become constructors' champion yet again in Saudi Arabia, but this fight looks even more likely to run to the end as its lead over Red Bull is just five points and it needs to add 40 to clinch it.
That requires a 1-2 for Hamilton and Bottas with Verstappen and Sergio Perez outside the top seven.

Panther Women Sink Sailfish
Donny Rieber Jr | Sports Lowdown
It wasn't pretty and it wasn't easy, but the Florida Tech women's basketball team picked up their first conference victory on Thursday, beating Palm Beach Atlantic 64-60 at the Clemente Center.
Fanny Hakanson's three-point play with 43.6 left in regulation gave the Panthers a 62-60 lead, and November Morton salted it away moments later from the free-throw line.
"Right before the game I said it's a conference game and it's gonna come down to one or two possessions," said Panthers coach John Reynolds. "It's a game of runs and we gave ourselves some space a couple of times, but it's a conference team and they're not gonna go away."
The Panthers (6-3, 1-1 SSC) had four players in double figures, led by Aniquah Swan's 19. She was the top rebounder as well, pulling down a career-high 14.
"I thought Aniquah played really big when we needed her tonight," Reynolds said.
Morton, who was playing in just her second game back after an injury, scored 13 points. Hakanson and Severine Uggen each had 11.
The game of runs Reynolds mentioned started early, as the Panthers jumped out to a 7-0 lead, only to see PBA tie it at seven. A three by Fanny Paulin with 5:08 left in the first quarter made it 10-7 Panthers. A three by Sia Williams of PBA gave her team a 14-13 lead before Morton's three gave the Panthers a 16-14 lead. Williams hit a jumper with 10 seconds left, giving the Sailfish an 18-17 lead.
Florida Tech was lucky to be down just one, considering they shot 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from the floor and 2-of-8 (25 percent) from three-point range.
"The first quarter we were horrendous from the floor," said Reynolds. "For us, I think that's two bad shooting games in a row that we did not shoot the ball well, but when you can shoot that poorly and come out with a win, you'll take it."
It took 2:03 for the first basket of the second quarter, scored by Swan. Her three-point play moments later, gave the Panthers a 22-18 lead. They would lead by nine after Hakanson laid one in with 4:16 to go. It was all part of a 20-6 run, helping the Panthers lead 37-28 at the break.
To their credit, PBA (1-7, 0-2 SSC) started the third quarter with nine straight points and tied things up at 37. Things went back-and-forth for much of the quarter before Uggen and Scott hit back-to-back shots to make it 49-44. A late basket by PBA cut the lead to 49-46 as the quarter came to an end.
A three by Uggen with 8:23 to go in the game gave the Panthers a 53-46 lead, only to see the Sailfish battle back and take a 54-53 lead with 6:21 left. Uggen would strike from deep again, tying the game at 56.
Williams would give the Sailfish a 60-59 lead with 1:47 to go, before Hakanson hit a jumper that she was fouled on, to make it a one-point Panther lead. She would then hit a free-throw to make it 62-60.
"Fanny played well," and she was our best defender tonight," said Reynolds. "She told me in practice yesterday that she's a better defender than I give her credit for, and she showed it tonight. She convinced me she needs to stay on the floor."

The Panthers continue their homestand Saturday with a 5:30 p.m. game against the Lynn Fighting Knights in another SSC matchup.

Morley Town Council leader defends £1,000 ceremonial robe
Morley Town Hall
Richard Beecham
The leader of Morley Town Council has defended a recent decision to spend up to £1,000 on a ceremonial robe for the town mayor, stating it helps promote a positive image of the town to potential employers.
Recently-published town council papers reveal that members of the authority's Finance, General Purposes and Strategic Committee agreed to commission the robe using money from the authority's "Special Projects" budget.
One Morley councillor criticised the move, claiming it is "the wrong direction to take", while government spending cuts for local authorities continue.
Minutes from a committee meeting which took place on Wednesday, March 27 lists one item: "To discuss proposal to commission a ceremonial robe (to be tailored) and agree expenditure of up to £1,000.
"A costing of £1,010.22 provided by a local seamstress, which had been sent to Coun Hutchison, was tabled. It was proposed and agreed that the ceremonial robe be commissioned at this cost, to be taken from 'Special Projects'."
Despite council minutes suggesting the exact costing, the leader of the town council claims the amount would be considerably cheaper than this.
Chair of Morley Town Council and Leeds City Councillor Robert Finnigan (MBI, Morley North) said: "The cost at least a couple of hundred pounds less than that.
"I think it's quite a lot of money but, historically, the robe is there to support the role of the Mayor.
"People in Morley think the mayoral role is important and it should be carried out to a certain level and standard – that is what this is about, not just in Morley, but in the wider area.
"It's promoting Morley to the wider area, and if we are going to do that, we don't just turn up in jeans and trainers – it supports the work that the Mayor does across Yorkshire.
"We think that the Mayor's role is to be an ambassador for Morley, and this can help businesses relocate to Morley.
"This is about promoting a positive image of Morley and can help attract businesses to relocate here. It is a positive and money well-spent."
Leeds City Council has recently claimed that government spending cuts have taken more than £1 billion from its budgets over the last decade, while another £15 million was shaved from the authority's budget from central government this year.
Failing care homes pose bigger challenge to Wakefield Council than Brexit, report says
Leeds City Councillor Neil Dawson (Lab, Morley South) said: "This is very interesting, as they [Morley Borough Independents] are always condemning us for making cuts.
"I think in these austere times, this is the wrong direction to take.
"I am a great believer in civic responsibility, but spending money in this way is not the right thing to do."

U.S to Return Jewish Artifacts to Iraq, Despite Protests
The trove includes books, religious texts, photographs and personal documents looted during Saddam Hussein's regime, and then found by U.S. troops in 2003
Send me email alerts for new articles by JTA
A Passover Haggadah found by U.S. soldiers in Iraq in 2003; National Archives, November 26, 2013.REUTERS
The Netherlands is still hoarding a massive collection of art looted from Jews by Nazis
Egypt reportedly approves $22m plan to restore Alexandria's only active synagogue
Why Jews from Libya are worried about the fate of the country's Jewish artifacts
The inconvenient truth about Jews from Arab lands
A trove of Iraqi Jewish artifacts that lawmakers and Jewish groups have lobbied to keep in the U.S. will be returned to Iraq next year, a State Department official said.
A four-year extension to keep the Iraqi Jewish Archive in the U.S. is set to expire in September 2018, as is funding for maintaining and transporting the items. The materials will then be sent back to Iraq, spokesman Pablo Rodriguez said in a statement sent to JTA on Thursday.
Rodriguez said the State Department "is keenly aware of the interest in the status" of the archive.
"Maintaining the archive outside of Iraq is possible," he said, "but would require a new agreement between the Government of Iraq and a temporary host institution or government."
The archive was brought to America in 2003 after being salvaged by U.S. troops. It contains tens of thousands of items including books, religious texts, photographs and personal documents. Under an agreement with the government of Iraq, the archive was to be sent back there, but in 2014 the Iraqi ambassador to the U.S. said its stay had been extended. He did not say when the archive was to return.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers and Jewish groups have lobbied to renegotiate the deal, arguing that the documents should be kept in the U.S. or elsewhere where they are accessible to Iraqi Jews and their descendants. JTA reached out to lawmakers who have sponsored resolutions urging a renegotiation of the archive's return but did not hear back in time for publication.
Iraq and proponents of returning the archive say it can serve as an educational tool for Iraqis about the history of Jews there and that it is part of the country's patrimony.
In 2003, U.S. troops found the archive, much of it waterlogged, in the basement of the Iraqi secret services headquarters in Baghdad. Under Saddam Hussein's reign, Iraq had looted many of the artifacts after the dictator drove the Jewish community out of the country amid intense persecution.
In the U.S., the artifacts were restored, digitalized and exhibited under the auspices of the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
Rodriguez was asked how appropriate treatment of the archive will be ensured.
"When the IJA is returned, the State Department will urge the Iraqi government to take the proper steps necessary to preserve the archive, and to make it available to members of the public to enjoy," he said in the statement.
The archive is set to be exhibited at the Jewish Museum of Maryland Oct. 15-Jan. 15. The exhibit page says the items include a Hebrew Bible with commentaries from 1568, a Babylonian Talmud from 1793 and an 1815 version of the Zohar, a Jewish mystical text.
"At this point, we have no new information for you about additional venues," Miriam Kleiman, program director for public affairs at the National Archives, told JTA in an email on Friday.
Groups representing Jews from Iraq decried the return date.
"There is no justification in sending the Jewish archives back to Iraq, a country that has virtually no Jews and no accessibility to Jewish scholars or the descendants of Iraqi Jews," Gina Waldman, founder and president of Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, said Friday in a statement to JTA. "The U.S. government must ensure that the Iraqi archives are returned to its rightful owners, the exiled Iraqi Jewish community,"
Stanley Urman, executive vice president for Justice for Jews from Arab Countries, echoed Waldman in saying there was no justification for sending back the archive.
"This is Jewish communal property. Iraq stole it and kept it hidden away in a basement. Now that we've managed to reclaim it, it would be like returning stolen goods back to the thief," Urman told JTA on Friday.
Rabbi Andrew Baker, director of international Jewish affairs at the American Jewish Committee, emphasized that the agreement had always been that the archive would be returned.
"Certainly if there are more venues or museums that might wish to host this exhibition, that could be another reason for further deferring returning it to Iraq," he told JTA on Friday.
Baker said the fact that materials have been digitalized ensures access to the archive no matter where it is physically located.
"Frankly, I would hope that while the position of the State Department is as been said, and a date has been given, that there can be and hopefully will be further understanding or agreements that might be reached even informally that would lead to further deferral of any actual return of the archive," he said.
Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the archive should remain wherever it is most accessible to the public.
"The Iraqi Jewish community endured for millennia, and the Iraqi Jewish Archive is an important collection of cultural records testifying to their presence in that historic land. It should be accessible to anyone. If that goal is best achieved by the archive remaining in the United States, then that's what we should do."
Marc Lubin, a government relations consultant who has worked on the issue, was critical of the agreement with the Iraqi government to return the archive.
"The Iraqi Jewish Archives case lifts the curtain and exposes the reality that the United States has entered into a number of agreements, in name of deterring looting, that in fact endorse foreign government claims on the property of Jews and other individuals and religious minorities," he told JTA in an email. "These provisions violate American principles and need to be rolled back."

Q: ESP32 - Connection to MCP23009. Can't get the OUTPUT to HIGH even if the connections returns succesful ( 0 ) I was trying to get an ESP32 working with I2C and because I had it around I took a MCP23009. Schmeantic is in the Image Image
My Code is the following :
#include <Wire.h> // specify use of Wire.h library.

#define MCPAddress  0x20 //I2C Address

#define IO_DIR_REG 0x00           // The Output Register
#define GPIO_REG 0x09             // The GPIO Register
#define IOCON 0x05                // Settings
#define SEQOP_REQ 0b00100000      // Disable address increment

#define I2C_SDA 21
#define I2C_SCL 22

int error;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(1000);
  Serial.println("Starting Wire");
  Wire.begin(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL);

  Wire.setClock(100000); //Frequenz

  Wire.beginTransmission(MCPAddress); // Check if connection succesfull
  error = Wire.endTransmission();
  if(error == 0){
    Serial.println("Success");
  }else{
    Serial.println("Failure: ");
    Serial.print(error);
  }

  //Serial.println("Disable Auto-Address increment!");
  //writeBlockData(IOCON,SEQOP_REQ); //Experimental, didn't make it work

  Serial.println("Setting Outputs!");
  writeBlockData(IO_DIR_REG,0x00);

  Serial.println("Writing LOW!");
  writeBlockData(GPIO_REG,0x00);

}

void loop()
{
  Serial.println("Writing HIGH!");
  writeBlockData(GPIO_REG,0b11111111);
  delay(3000);

  Serial.println("Writing LOW!");
  writeBlockData(GPIO_REG,0b00000000);
  delay(3000);
}

int writeBlockData(uint8_t cmd, uint8_t val)
{
  Wire.beginTransmission(MCPAddress);
  Wire.write(cmd);
  Wire.write(val);
  delay(10);
  return Wire.endTransmission();
}

It's fairly simple and the connections works as I get only 0 when I read Wire.endTransmission() but the LEDs never turn High. No matter what I do. Here is the Datasheet from the MCP http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20002121C.pdf
If anybody sees my mistake I would really appreciate it ! I am fairly new to work with I2C so I dont really see it. Even working with a Arduino Library didnt work.
Thanks and greetings !

A: Well, I didn' read the whole datasheet. The MCP has open drain outputs so turning around the diodes and put the other end into Vdd fixed it.

In 1955, the Legislature created the State Building Commission (SBC) to oversee construction of all State public buildings (T.C.A. § 4-15-101 et seq.). The SBC's responsibility has been expanded to include authority over most State construction and demolition projects and the acquisition and disposal of State lands (in fee, easement or by lease).
As a statutorily created body, the SBC seeks to ensure that actions and decisions affecting real property in which the State has an interest are made in the best interest of the State. This role includes promoting quality in design and construction, sound fiscal management, fair competition for work, and proactive planning and decision-making. Approximately 90 million square feet and 900 thousand acres of the State's real estate portfolio is under the authority of the SBC. This portfolio includes all real estate used by General Government agencies and State Higher Education Institutions, but excludes property and projects under the authority of the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
The SBC's Executive Subcommittee (ESC) is authorized to act on behalf of the full Commission in any matter that has been delegated to it by the Commission. Standing delegations of authority include taking final action on land acquisitions, land disposals, lease transactions, and demolitions.
The Constitutional Officers and the Commissioner of Finance & Administration are members of the ESC.
All members are ex-officio positions and SBC / ESC members cannot delegate their seats.
The State Building Commission is normally scheduled to meet the second Thursday every month at 11:00 a.m. (Central Time) in Nashville, Tennessee, subject to having a quorum. NOTE: Pursuant to T.C.A. 8-44-108(c)(2), if a quorum of members is not physically present, the meeting may be conducted permitting participation of electronic or other means of communication.

This is such a great question Rebekah! There are a lot of Christian based curriculums out there. You can find a bunch on Christian Books.com. When choosing a curriculum for your family, you must first decide what you want to get from your curriculum, your type of teaching/learning style, what your budget is, and if you want it faith based or not. Homeschool curriculums can be pricey. For my family, we have chosen not to purchase the more expensive curriculums. They are not in our budget right now and I am currently loving the current style/flow we have to our daily learning. We use spectrum workbooks, which I was able to all find on ebay for less than $10 a workbook (with free shipping). When you are buying everything x2, any money saved is good! Shop around and try to find the best deals.
I would like to say also it is trial and error. I've been homeschooling for about 15 years. There are lots of good companies with lots of great christian based products. Homeschooling can be challenging at times. If you buy a product that your kids hate sell it on ebay and find something they like.Something more suited to your family.

The Regional Office of Education #44 did not comply with certain statutory administrative requirements.
The Regional Office of Education #44 did not examine at least once each year all books, accounts, and vouchers of every school treasurer in the educational service region. Regional Office officials noted they believe the mandate is outdated and that they are satisfying the intent of the statute by other reviews they undertake. This mandate has existed in its current form since at least 1953.
The Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/3-14.5) also requires the Regional Superintendent to visit each public school in the county at least once a year, noting the methods of instruction, the branches taught, the textbooks used, and the discipline, government and general condition of the schools. This mandate has existed in its current form since at least 1953.
The Regional Office of Education #44 accepted the recommendation to comply with the statutory requirements. The Regional Office responded that with regards to compliance with 105 ILCS 5/3-14.11 and 105 ILCS 5/3-14.5, the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools and the Illinois State Board of Education have agreed to seek legislation to remove duplicative and/or obsolete sections of the Illinois School Code. Both parties believe that 105 ILCS 5/3-7 of the Illinois School Code and 23 Ill. Adm. Code 1.20, respectively, contain more current, thorough, and comprehensive requirements concerning a public school district's financial transactions and visitation of public schools by the Regional Superintendent. As a result, the two parties working together will seek legislation to repeal these two sections of the Illinois School Code.
Our auditors state the Regional Office of Education #44's financial statements as of June 30, 2006 are fairly presented in all material respects.

Q: ASP.NET MVC query lambda expression Hello I have problem in one query. Why it's always return no value.
public List<UserDetail> userSearchModel(UserSearchModel searchModel)
    {
        string userid = User.Identity.GetUserId();
        var user = _dbContext.UserDetails.Where(x => x.Id == userid);
        var result = _dbContext.UserDetails.Except(user).ToList().AsQueryable();
        if (searchModel != null)
        {
            if (searchModel.LanguageId.Count() != 0)
            {
                List<UserDetailLanguage> usrDetails = new List<UserDetailLanguage>();
                foreach (var item in searchModel.LanguageId)
                {
                    var details = _dbContext.UserDetailLanguages.Where(x => x.LanguageId == item).ToList();
                    foreach (var item2 in details)
                    {
                        usrDetails.Add(item2);
                    }
                }
                result = result.Where(x => x.UserDetailLanguages == usrDetails);
            }
        }
        return result.ToList();
    }

I want to get results which are the same in usrDetails list and in result.UserDetailLanguages.
In result.UserDetailLanguages I have record equals to record in usrDetails but this not want retrieve.
Here is my model:
public class UserDetail
{
    public UserDetail()
    {
        this.UserDetailLanguages = new HashSet<UserDetailLanguage>();
    }
    [Key, ForeignKey("User")]
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public DateTime Birthday { get; set; }
    public string Sex { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
    public string About { get; set; }
    [NotMapped]
    public int Age { get { return DateTime.Now.Year - Birthday.Year; } }
    public virtual ApplicationUser User { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserDetailLanguage> UserDetailLanguages { get; set; }

}
public class UserDetailLanguage
{
    public Int32 Id { get; set; }

    public virtual UserDetail UserDetail { get; set; }
    public string UserDetailId { get; set; }
    public virtual Language Language { get; set; }
    public Int32 LanguageId { get; set; }
    public Boolean IsKnown { get; set; }
    public static implicit operator List<object>(UserDetailLanguage v)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}
public class Language
{
    public Language()
    {
        this.UserDetailLanguages = new HashSet<UserDetailLanguage>();
    }
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<UserDetailLanguage> UserDetailLanguages { get; set; }
}

What I'm doing wrong?

A: If you want to see if your value is in a list you use the Contains function of the list -- like this:
  result = result.Where(x => usrDetails.Contains(x.UserDetailLanguage));

If you want to see if there are any items in both lists you can use intersection like this:
 result = result.Where(x => usrDetails.Intersect(x.UserDetailLanguage).Count() > 0);

A: Looks like you are checking equality between lists in following code
result = result.Where(x => x.UserDetailLanguages == usrDetails);

This might not work, to check equality for lists you can use something like
Enumerable.SequenceEqual(FirstList.OrderBy(fList => fList),
                     SecondList.OrderBy(sList => sList))

States with highest growth in solar, wind capacity also those worst-hit by coronavirus
An ETEnergyworld analysis shows how the growth of the renewable energy capacity is at risk owing to the lockdown imposed across states
Aarushi Koundal
ETEnergyWorld
New Delhi: India's top 10 worst-hit states in terms of confirmed coronavirus cases also happen to be those which registered maximum addition of solar and wind energy generation capacity in 2019.
There is no causal link between the geographical spread of coronavirus infections and renewable energy capacity addition. An ETEnergyworld analysis shows how the growth of the renewable energy capacity is at risk owing to the lockdown imposed across states.
The analysis that superimposed the two data sets, obtained from government records, shows states such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh -- with some of the highest coronavirus infections -- added a total of 4,880 MW of solar and 24,949 MW of wind capacity last year.
Speaking of the effects the lockdown can have on worst-hit states, Ashish Khanna, president - renewables, Tata Power and managing director and chief executive officer, Tata Power Solar, said that operations of existing plants will not be impacted, however, underdevelopment projects will be affected.
"As far as the operations of the existing plants are concerned in the industry, there is not much of a challenge. But, underdevelopment projects will get impacted and they are impacted everywhere. They are also affected because any restriction on movement is going to have a major impact on functions as supply chains are very critical for renewable energy business as compared to a typical infrastructure project," Khanna told ETEnergyWorld in an interview.
Tamil Nadu, which added 1,213 megawatt (MW) of solar and 9,286 MW of wind capacity during 2019-20 up to December is also the state with the second-highest number of confirmed cases as on 7 April, 2020. Rajasthan, which is also among the top coronavirus infected states, had added 1,617 MW solar capacity and 4,299 MW wind capacity during 2019-20, according to data.
In case the worst hit states impose longer lockdown periods it can result in an extended hit to the growth of the solar and wind energy capacity. "As long as discoms remain on reduced demand, their financial health will be strained. In the short term, this is not good for renewable energy as gencos need to be paid," said Mahua Acharya, Asia director, Climate Policy Initiative, a think-tank.
She added that it is great the ministry of new and renewable energy has mandated renewable energy to be "must run" so as to avoid a hurt to the clean and green energy growth. Acharya also said a few states like Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu were already at the brink of "over supply" of renewable power and require more integration technologies.
In terms of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, too, the states with the highest capacity additions in 2019 were those with the highest number of infections, according to research and consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie.
"On the solar front, the states of Karnataka with 2.0 GW, Tamil Nadu with 1.6 GW, and Rajasthan with 1.7 GW were the top three states accounting for 55 per cent of solar PV installations in 2019. All of which are in the top 10 worst-hit states," WoodMac said in a statement on Monday.
It added that India could face over 21.6 per cent or 3 GW of solar PV and wind installations being delayed as a result of the lockdown. The current support measures taken by the government to mitigate the downturn were warranted, but if the virus situation continues to escalate and the lockdown is extended, there would be severe financial impact on utility companies, it said.
"Consequently, solar PV and wind installation developers' cash flows will also be affected, and corporate bank loans for new project development could slow to a trickle," WoodMac said.
According to the WoodMac research, with over 3 GW of wind projects under construction scheduled for 2020 completion, supply and labour disruptions from the current lockdown could delay 400 MW into 2021, equating to a downgrade of 11 per cent for 2020.
Similarly, solar PV installations were also expected to be hit hard as the industry is heavily dependent on Chinese module imports which have been disrupted due to the virus outbreak.

Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems
Coloni is an Italian motor racing team from the Umbrian community Passignano sul Trasimeno, near Perugia, which was founded in January 1982 by Enzo Coloni under the name Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems and 1987-1991 regularly to the races in the Formula 1 World Championship reported. In this racing class Coloni one of the teams with the least sporting successes. In two consecutive years, he did not succeed as the only team in Formula 1 history to qualify for a race. In the four and a half years of his application the team could only participate in 14 races, scoring a single World Championship point. A certain notoriety reached the team through a connection with the Japanese car manufacturer Subaru, the Enzo Coloni tried in 1990 for a short time to establish itself as engine manufacturers in Formula 1.
By 2012, the team was committed under the name Scuderia Coloni in the GP2 Championship, but withdrew at the end of 2012 from the series back.

"King of the non -qualified " - Background and Causes
Successes in smaller classes
The Team Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems from 1982 to 1987 ' a fixed size " in the Italian Formula 3 Championship. 1982, in his final year as an active driver, team founder Enzo Coloni was master of this series; in the following years, the titles went to Colonis driver Alessandro Santin, Ivan Capelli and Nicola Larini. 1986 Coloni also participated in the International Formula 3000 Championship. Colonis driver Gabriele Tarquini scored here with an outdated March 85B seven championship points and finished the season in tenth place from the drivers' standings.
The year was used in Formula 3000 for Enzo Coloni only as preparation for promotion to the Formula 1, for which seemed to be an opportune time the 1987 season: From 1987, were - in contrast to last year, had to be in the down exclusively with turbocharged engines - alternatively readmitted naturally aspirated engines, and it was already clear that from 1989, all teams would have to compete with conventional naturally aspirated engines. These adopted in July 1986 rule change was to be expected, that the formula could be one again operated as before the turbo era with less financial outlay.
Statistics of failure
In Formula 1, the team soon reached its limits: the successes, the Enzo Coloni had achieved in smaller racing classes, he could not repeat in the highest class of formula racing. Between autumn 1987 and autumn 1991, his team reported 82 Grand Prix. During this time the team qualified only 14 races, and in total there were only four stage finishes, all of which were recorded in 1988. Colonis last race participation took place in Portugal in autumn 1989. In the following 35 races Coloni never survived the qualification; in 27 cases the team had already failed in the pre-qualification. No other team in Formula 1 has an equally long period of failure. Occasionally Coloni is therefore referred to as the "King of non -skilled ". Although familiar with the motorsport history teams like the German Willi Kauhsen Racing Team (1979 ) or the Italian team Racing Life ( 1990), which not only qualified once during their existence to a Formula 1 race; but all of them were not more than one season in Formula 1 is involved.
The main reason for the lack of racing success was the low financial strength of the team. Coloni was and remained the smallest and finanzschwächste team in Formula 1 While some of the other racing teams that first appeared in the early years of the so-called new Saugmotorära in Formula 1, had wealthy industrialists as partners or connections to established companies talked, Coloni was as pure family entirely dependent on external finance. This proved to be the weak starting position Colonis as problematic: International sponsors concentrated their commitment preferable to the larger, successful team, with which more media coverage was to be expected, and the national sponsors tried next Coloni five (1989 ) or six (1990 ) another Italian team. Enzo Coloni later explained that his years in Formula 1 was the only time in which it financially, the water had stood up to his neck. In 2012, he admitted in an interview that the rise had gone too quickly into the Formula 1.
The low economic power had a negative impact on the technical and logistical performance of the team. Even before the end of the first full Formula 1 season lacked the means to procure adequate class material. In technical terms, Coloni had to improvise increasingly. Technical Improvements could be since 1989 hardly develop or implement; the team lived in the last two years of its existence primarily on the substance. The cars were increasingly described as a hobbyist objects. Also, the staff was scarce: Again and again there have been periods in which the team consisted of only half a dozen employees, a fraction of employees working in a top team people.
Due to the thin financial ceiling Coloni was not able to undertake successful or established drivers, who usually demanded high fees. Instead Coloni went regularly with Paydrivern at the start, the shopped with their own or provided by personal sponsors means, but it had little or no Formula 1 experience. Five of the eight reported between 1987 and 1991 pilots celebrated their Formula 1 debut with Coloni, two more - Gabriele Tarquini and Roberto Moreno - had previously denied only one or two races for other teams. Only Bertrand Gachot was when he signed with Coloni, look back on the experience of a nearly complete Formula 1 season.
These justified in the team itself difficulties external circumstances were added, the successful racing applications difficult. This includes in particular the high level of competition density at the beginning of the new Saugmotorära. In view of the expected cost reduction as a result of the ban Turbo numerous other teams registered now located next to the Coloni Formula 1. Belonged to them, AGS (1986 ), March and Larrousse (both 1987) and EuroBrun, BMS Scuderia Italia and Rial (both 1988). 1989 finally came no less than 20 teams in the Formula 1 World Championship against each other, as many as in any other year. This made, as a rule, only 26 vehicles were registered for the race, a strict selection in the qualification and pre-qualification required in most cases the weakest established teams have had the slightest chance. Without race participations but there was no media presence, thus the interest of potential sponsors further reduced, so that less money was available to adequately prepare the car and the team.
The individual seasons
1987: Two races in debut year
The Team Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems SpA made his Formula 1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1987.
In early 1987, began Roberto Ori, a former Dallara- designer, with the development of a Formula 1 car for Coloni. The Coloni FC187 was the first racing car designed and built the team itself; in smaller classes Coloni had used regular customer vehicles larger manufacturers such as March or Ralt. Ori constructed a conventional vehicle, which was intended for prolonged use. In addition, the design already took into account the rule changes for 1988, for example, the pedals were behind the Vorderachslinie, which in 1987 was not prescribed. When driving in Italy prepared in Nova Cosworth DFZ engine naturally aspirated, who with about 610 hp to the weakest engines of the grid was used.
End August 1987 launched the yellow painted FC187 to the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola for the maiden voyage. Enzo Coloni drove the first round itself; later took over Colonis current Formula 3 driver Nicola Larini cockpit. Previous attempts Colonis to win the former Formula 1 World Champion Keke Rosberg for the first tests had been unsuccessful. In the test runs in Imola Coloni gained little experience: Since the FC187 suffered numerous defects and mechanics spent considerable time on repairs, Larini hardly got to ride.
Coloni was planning in 1987 to take part in a car at some European autumn races. As a driver he had initially intended Emanuele Pirro, who in the early summer but opted for the project Middleware Bridge Trussardi, which seemed to be technically and financially better off. Later Coloni tried to Franco Scapini. His efforts failed, however, because he did not receive a Super License. Ultimately, called Coloni Nicola Larini as a regular driver for the 1987 season.
The world championship races in 1987
In his first appearance at the Italian Grand Prix, the team was not yet fully operational. The car was completed, but not yet voted and also " full of teething problems". As a consequence, Larini not qualified to FC187. With hardly matched FC187 missing nearly two seconds on the qualification and twelve seconds to the pole time of Nelson Piquet; only Pascal Fabre in AGS JH22 was even slower. The following race in Portugal was Coloni out as planned, to make the car race-ready. At the next race in Spain, Larini qualified as the last of the race, where he succeeded despite the nominally weaker Saugmotorautos to position themselves ahead of the two turbo -powered Osella by Alex Caffi ( Osella FA1I ) and Franco Forini ( FA1G ). Larini but finished the race did not finish; already in the eighth round broke the suspension, so it turned out the first rider of the race. The subsequent overseas races in Mexico, Japan and Australia had Coloni out again, because the cost of getting were too high. The team focused instead on private tests that were carried out in October by Gabriele Tarquini and in December of Luis Pérez- Sala.
1988: A two-part season
The year 1988 was for Coloni for the first full Formula 1 season. The team reported as emergency vehicle the Coloni FC188 with a Cosworth engine, which was re-prepared at Nova engine. With him it was a slightly revised version of the FC187, which originated in triplicate. The first car was identical to the 1987 FC187, the two vehicles were later rebuilt during the year according to the known construction plans.
As in the previous year, reported Coloni in 1988 only a driver. The Italian race driver Gabriele Tarquini had been after the test drives in October 1987 committed as a substitute for the changing to Osella Larini. Enzo Coloni had at the turn of 1987/88 certainly had had plans for a second car under Kris Nissen and Jean -Louis Schlesser; none of the mentioned driver was however able or been willing to teach as required by Coloni entry fee in the amount of 2.5 million U.S. dollars.
In the first five races of the year succeeded Tarquini regularly to qualify. In domestic Imola he reached the 17th starting position, with whom he had established competition teams such as Tyrrell and Ligier behind. The finishes, however, were not initially be reached; repeatedly collapsed the mechanics. Both in Brazil and in Monaco broke the suspension, in Imola prevented a throttle cable -clamping the progress. The first finish succeeded Tarquini in the fourth race of the season in Mexico, with five laps down in 14th place in Canada, it was much better; here Tarquini was eight residue with only two rounds and was thus in points nearby. This finish was the best result in Formula 1 history Colonis.
After this race, the team collapsed. In Detroit, France, Britain and Germany Tarquini failed four times in a row at the pre-qualification; he was in each case by far the slowest. It was only in August for the Hungarian Grand Prix, he managed again the qualification; Here he came in 13th with five laps to the finish. In Belgium, Tarquini qualified as 22, but fell for a steering defect in the last third of the race from.
In the late summer of 1988, Enzo Coloni took the negative development as an opportunity to strengthen his team. He managed to poach from his Provencal competitors AGS three key employees: the long-standing AGS designer Christian Vanderpleyn, the design engineer Michel Costa and the team manager Frédéric Dhainaut. These employees have been incorporated in August 1988 in the existing Coloni team. You should immediately start working on a new car for 1989, while Roberto Ori revised the FC188.
To mark the one-year anniversary of Formula 1 Grand Prix of Italy presented Coloni the modified model, which received the designation FC188B. Had These were in substance to the known FC188, the revised cooler and a modified wing work received. The weight of the car had been reduced according to factory specifications by 15 kilograms. The modifications made Colonis cars but not faster. In five appearances in FC188B to Tarquini only once qualified. At the Grand Prix of Portugal he went finish last race and finished in eleventh and second to last with five laps to the finish. It was the last finish of a Coloni in Formula 1
Enzo Coloni had initially wanted the responsibility for the lack of results in the fall at Gabriele Tarquini and his replacement by the wealthy Mexicans Yosele Garza operated, which would have given the team opened up new sponsor funds. A use Garzas but did not materialize because he received no super license.
1989: No finish
The second full season proved to be difficult for Coloni; at its end stood the existence of the team on the game. During the year, the team was able to participate in only five of the sixteen Grands Prix; the drivers mostly eliminated from the qualifying and the pre-qualification. With no race of the year 1989 Coloni crossed the finish line.
Starting position
1989, the conditions on the previous year had changed considerably.
The most significant technical rule change was the newly entered into force banning of turbo engines: naturally aspirated future had to use all of the teams. While financially the strongest racing teams usually had exclusive engine partner like Honda or Renault, the engines are sophisticated, high-performance ready set, smaller teams used usually customer engines of Judd and Cosworth, who were largely standardized and against the strongest engines had a power deficit of at least 100 hp. This difference shows that the intended with the ban on turbo engines approximation of engine performance and increasing the competitiveness of smaller teams had not been reached. At the beginning of the season were also individual engine concepts such as the twelve-cylinder W engine by Guy Nègre ( MGN ), another W - 12 engine of Franco Rocchi and a twelve-cylinder engine with a wide angle of bank Carlo Chiti on the market. Coloni was interested in the end of 1988 for the Rocchi engine, used in 1989 for cost reasons but ultimately still a conventional Cosworth engine, which was prepared by Langford & Peck in the UK. The most statistics refer to the engine as the Cosworth DFR, other sources claim, however, Coloni had only used revised DFZ engines.
Of considerable practical importance was the significant expansion of the grid. It was based on the one hand to the fact that in 1989 like never before competed with 20 teams so many racing teams in Formula 1; the other hand, urged the FISA for 1989 from each team the use of two cars. Because with the exception Euro Bruns followed all the teams this requirement, competed in 1989 a total of 39 vehicles by 26 grid positions. In order for a pre-qualification was required, which was held before the first free practice session on Friday morning. In her twelve vehicles competed against each other, and only the fastest four were allowed to participate in the timed practice. The pre-qualification documents the weakest according to the preseason teams and those teams who in 1988 used only one car, two cars in 1989 but reported: In this case, in any event, subject to the newly reported second car of the pre-qualification. This was also true Coloni: One of Colonis car had to mid-season a safe starting place, the second go had to pre-qualify from the outset.
The pre-qualification was a big challenge for many of the small private teams. This was also true for Coloni. This reflects a disadvantageous that Coloni had yet to deny the old FC188B the first race of the new season. Given the financial burden that was associated with the use of two vehicles, Coloni had not enough funds to quickly advance the development of an entirely new, current racing car. Its completion was delayed ultimately until spring 1989. FC188B The used hitherto, which fell on a design from the spring of 1987, were in 1989 no longer competitive. This had a direct impact on the second half of the season for which the participants in the pre-qualification were reconstituted according to the results of the first half of the season: As the initially-set driver with the FC188B reached no hard results in the first half of the season, he was defeated from August 1989 also of pre-qualification.
The driver choice for 1989 had taken early Enzo Coloni. The set cockpit he forgave Roberto Moreno, who had in 1987 clinched a world championship point for the little competition team AGS. For the second, the pre-qualification subjected Coloni chassis undertook the Frenchman Pierre -Henri Raphanel, had made its debut at last year Larrousse and was supported by the belonging to Silvio Berlusconi's TV channel La Cinq group of companies.
In the first two races Moreno failed to qualify, Raphanel failed already at the pre-qualification. They lacked each more than 6 seconds per lap or 40 km / h on the top teams. In the third race, the Grand Prix of Monaco, on the other hand, both drivers were able to qualify for a race entry Moreno went as 25th on the grid, Raphanel than 18, which he inter alia, the Tyrrell of Jonathan Palmer and the Benetton of Johnny Herbert behind allowed. In the race, but eliminated both Coloni after transmission damage prematurely.
The subsequent overseas races in Mexico, the United States and Canada were under the sign of the improvisation. The majority of the staff had remained in Italy in order to complete the new Coloni C3 ( and to save travel costs); as in the USA for example, only Enzo Coloni, three mechanics and the two drivers were present. This had a negative impact on competitiveness. In Mexico, were Moreno and Raphanel each by far the slowest: Raphanel missing about 16 seconds to the pole position, its top speed was 45 km / h less than that of Riccardo Patrese in the Williams FW12C.
At the Grand Prix of Canada debuted the Coloni C3. However, the team initially had completed only a car that inserting both drivers one by one. Raphanel moving the car without having it tested or tuned before, for the first time in the pre-qualification. He drove only two slow laps, which resembled a functional test, and missed the pre-qualification by 35 seconds. Later, he handed the car over to Roberto Moreno, who was on Friday outside the qualification in training on Saturday, however, only a residue of 4.1 seconds to the pole time of Alain Prost had. He had qualified the new car for the 26th starting position. In the warm-up Moreno was with the C3 fifth fastest in the race itself he drove the elftschnellste lap time. This power is generally seen as evidence of the high potential of C3. However, Moreno did not finish the race: After 57 of 69 laps he fell to ninth lying, as a result of transmission damage from. In the UK, Moreno qualified third on the grid 23, wherein he was only 3.3 seconds slower than Ayrton Senna, who had moved out with his McLaren pole position. Again, Moreno fell out after a gearbox failure. From the Grand Prix of Germany, the second C3 was finished. Raphanel however damaged the car in his first race so hard that it turned out for several weeks; in Hungary, he therefore had to participate again with the old FC188B at the pre-qualification.
In the second half of the season were subject to both pilots of pre-qualification. Roberto Moreno failed in seven of eight Grand Prix events at this hurdle; only for the Grand Prix of Portugal in late September 1989, he succeeded once more to qualify. His training time ranged 2.7 seconds behind the pole time for the 15th place. In the race, however, burst after 15 rounds of the engine. Raphanel never succeeded in the pre-qualification. For the Belgian Grand Prix, he was replaced by debutant Enrico Bertaggia. Enzo Coloni explained the substitution with the high accident rate Raphanels; in the media was, however, also pointed out that Bertaggia the team gave access to new sponsor funds. Bertaggia did not yield any improvement of sports performance. In the last six races of the year he was a regular Last of pre-qualification, some with significant residues. Making its debut at Spa- Francorchamps as he was 20 seconds slower than the last but one of the pre-qualification. Often Bertaggias trials of pre-qualification of technical problems were characterized.
The structural and personnel Define the team deteriorated severely in the second half of the 1989 season. Immediately after the completion of the C3 in June 1989 and some other leaving Christian Vanderpleyn engineers the team. Vanderpleyn explained his resignation by blatant lack of money which enabled neither a development nor the production of spare parts. Enzo Coloni occupied the place made vacant by the technical director not new, but took this job for the rest of the season itself since there was no further development. The only exception was a small update that, in September 1989, led by Gary Anderson, Moreno's race engineer in Formula 3000 on commission. After several wind tunnel tests Anderson constructed a new vehicle nose and new front wing. They were largely responsible for Moreno qualifying at the Grand Prix of Portugal. Increasingly, it also lacked spare parts. In the absence of test drives, but also given the lack of race practice, the cars could no longer be voted founded. For Enzo Coloni it was at this time all about, ever to compete in order to avoid a penalty in the event of the absence.
In November 1989, almost all of the staff left the team, and it looked as if it could no longer take the team in the 1990 season. In December 1989, salvation came through to Group Fuji Heavy Industries belonging carmaker Subaru.
1990: bailout by Subaru
The 1990 season should be a fresh start for his team after Enzo Colonis idea. In the winter of 1989/90 he managed the majority of his racing team at Subaru for sale. Colonis conjunction with Subaru was accompanied initially by optimistic reporting - a report headlined example: " Enzo III on the rise: The Coloni team upgraded tremendously to" -, and observers expected, together with the financial consolidation of the team also a noticeable improvement in athletic performance. The project was, however, soon to be a failure. It was stopped after half a year, and Coloni sat on racing his team continued alone.
Coloni and Subaru
Subaru and the formula 1
Subaru was engaged since the 1970s factory in rallying. Contrary to expectations, these activities led not to a significant increase in automobile production. After the competing car manufacturer Honda in the next decade numerous successes in Formula 1 had been able to achieve and reached worldwide response to Subaru decided his hand at the beginning of the new naturally aspirated era to a Formula 1 involvement. As Honda wanted to enter as a pure Subaru engine supplier in Grand Prix racing. First Subaru was considering to construct the engine itself; in the fall of 1987, the development order was, however, awarded to the run by Carlo Chiti Italian company Motori Moderni. Based on the product philosophy of the Japanese car manufacturer, the preferred boxer engines began in the passenger car sector, Chiti constructed during the year 1988 a V engine with twelve cylinders and a bank angle of 180 degrees. The engine was mostly in the aftermath - technically incorrect - referred to as a boxer engine.
The engine was completed in the spring of 1989. The connected with Motori Moderni Minardi team tested the engine several times in the summer of 1989, however, was not the face to poor performance prepared in 1990 it regularly use. In autumn 1989 Subaru and Motori Moderni searched for alternative teams that could bring the MM 3512 called engine at the start. Only Coloni, whose team was in resolution after unsuccessfully verlaufenen 1989 season, was ready for an alliance with Subaru. Enzo Coloni saw it as a way to save his Formula 1 racing team. A major incentive was the fact that Subaru was willing to continue to finance the racing and at the same time to pay off the accumulated debt in recent years for him.
The alliance with Coloni
The Italian - Japanese agreement was long-term and saw some basic structural changes.
The team was new, mostly non-Italian staff in many areas. As a team leader - a function that previously Enzo Coloni had seen - the former rally driver Yoshio Takaoka was used. Takaoka was operating out of a newly created, based in Bologna base called Subaru Technica Europe. Enzo Coloni was vice president of the company and responsible for daily business. Alvise Morin, a banker of American City Bank, who had no experience in motorsport, was appointed Managing Director. His task was to create a plan for the long-term development of the racing team. Paul Burgess, a former engineer of the team Onyx Grand Prix, was technical director, and Damon Chandler, who came from Leyton House, was a race engineer.
Among the long -term plans included the development of a new engine and a new car. Already in the contract the parties had become clear that Carlo rickets "Boxer engine " was not competitive: He was much more difficult than any other Formula 1 engines with 160 kg and made about 100 hp less than conventional Cosworth normally aspirated engines. Chiti since the end of 1989, therefore, was already working on Subaru initiative on a new V- twelve-cylinder with a narrow cylinder angle, which was not done early in the season, however. Subaru and Coloni intended to bridge the time until the completion of the new engine with the MM3512. For this as heavy as weak engine is not a new car should be built; rather, the team wanted to be content with a revised C3. In the meantime, Coloni should start working on a new car, which should be completed at the same time with the new V-engine.
These plans do not matured to realize; the joint project between Subaru and Coloni failed after only a few months. With the old car and the "Boxer engine " Coloni was not able to consist of only the pre-qualification, and gave a " disastrous picture". On the other hand, there was no reasonable hope of recovery. Contrary to the original planning took Coloni in the spring of 1990 no efforts to develop a new car. Although Subaru on the occasion of the Grand Prix of San Marino in May 1990 that the race in France in July, a new Coloni should be used with a new twelve- cylinder engine. However, these announcements were unfounded. According to reports former Coloni staff existed at that time little more than a couple of pencil drawings of a future race car. When these negative developments after the race at Imola apparently were Paul Burgess and Alvise Morin left the team. A few days later, Enzo Coloni was sacked. Subaru took over the remaining 49 percent of the team shares and paid out Coloni. Enzo Coloni, however, continued to try to use his influence in the team asserted. Some sources report that he refused in May 1990 to hand over the actual power of the keys to Subaru; so he put a Christian Vanderpleyn as interim team manager, while he flew to Japan to reach a reference solution with Subaru. However, nothing came of it. After three further unsuccessful race, Subaru decided to discontinue the project. End of June 1990, the Japanese company sold the team. The buyer was Enzo Coloni, who returned with it as the sole owner and team manager. Since Subaru had also assumed the liabilities of earlier years, Coloni was able to undertake a debt-free fresh start in summer 1990.
The question of why this project by Subaru and Coloni failed in the end, is not uniform. Subaru gave Enzo Coloni to blame for the failure and accused him money that was intended for development work, to have misused for their own purposes. Coloni other hand, stated, Subaru had not provided the agreed cash benefits. Other sources report of jurisdictional disputes between Enzo Coloni Subaru one hand and on the other hand. Most observers point out that rickets weak, heavier and wider motor did not have the level of Formula 1 and was not suitable to achieve competitive results. In contrast, said Bertrand Gachot, the driver of the team: " The engine is not so bad; but everything else ... "
The World Cup runs in the Subaru - phase
The team Coloni Subaru stepped up to the first seven races of the season in 1990. For all races this phase of the Coloni C3B has been reported as emergency vehicle. The C3C was a one-off. These were one of the two presented in the previous C3, which had been converted to the Subaru motor. The second C3 remained untouched at the factory and was rebuilt in the summer for C3C. The C3B, who had undergone numerous reinforcements in the area of the engine environment was considerably overweight. According to some sources the weight of the C3B was about 80 kg above the minimum allowable weight for other overweight was more than 110 kg. As power transmission served a transmission that Minardi had developed at the test drives in the summer of 1989.
Coloni did not manage to finish the C3B in time to allow before the season could be carried out extensive testing. After matching to press reports, the car was first assembled in the pit lane of Phoenix on Tuesday before the first race of the year. A functional test took place on Wednesday before the race - according to sources - either on the enclosed shopping mall parking lot or on the Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, Arizona, instead.
In the pre-qualifying for the first race of the year, the USA the Grand Prix in Phoenix, Gachot ran only slow Einrollrunde. A second fast lap he took them into my attack, but could not finish due to a technical defect. According to some reports the propeller shaft broke when accelerating out of the pit lane after another fell from the gear shift when accelerating the shift lever. The following events succeeded Gachot ( with the exception of the French Grand Prix) regularly, at least to cover a timed lap in the pre-qualification; the results were even then so bad that they never allowed to participate in the actual training time. If it went reasonably well, and the residue was on the respective pole time in the range of 10 to 11 seconds - so in Imola, Mexico and the United Kingdom - with other events he was 16 or 17 seconds ( in Brazil or Monaco), sometimes but for 23 seconds ( in Canada). Usually Gachot could be just the car of Life Racing and the EuroBrun ER189B by Claudio Langes behind.
Coloni back on their feet
From the Grand Prix of Great Britain Enzo Coloni was again the sole owner of the racing team, which was different than in previous years now as a Società responsabilità limitata ( Srl ), that is, as a corporate entity, written. Bertrand Gachot remained the team as drivers are given.
Since in such a short time no alternative was to put on the legs, Coloni was allowed to use again the C3B with Subaru -MM- engine for the race at Silverstone. However, each note had disappeared Subaru on the car. Again Gachot failed the pre-qualification.
Then the team Coloni C3C the began. The car was not a new development. With him it was the one copy of the two C3 produced in 1989, which had not been converted to the Subaru engine in early 1990. The C3C used a conventional eight-cylinder engine from Cosworth, which was prepared in the UK at Langford & Peck.
At its debut, the Grand Prix of Germany, the C3C was with the exception of the now yellow livery yet completely identical to the 1989 base version. In the following days the for a few weeks to Coloni returned engineer Christian Vanderpleyn revised aerodynamics of C3 as well as the suspension. The car also received a new floor. The new parts were installed in the week before the Grand Prix of Hungary on the vehicle. The Italian race car driver and entrepreneur Fulvio Ballabio then led through a short test drive; then the revised car appeared with Gachot at the Hungaroring.
With these modifications, the C3C was significantly faster than the C3 and C3B. At the Grand Prix of Hungary Gachot missed while again pre-qualification; this time, the residue was just 0.3 seconds on a qualifying time to participate in the training course. In addition Gachot was faster than Roberto Moreno and Claudio Langes in the car of the competition teams EuroBrun.
In the Belgian Grand Prix, his home race, Gachot was the first time the pre-qualification. In addition to the improvements to the car for it, especially thinning of the grid was responsible. After the team Onyx Monteverdi, who was not subject to pre-qualification, had set on racing after the Hungarian Grand Prix, the Equipe Ligier courts took over from Belgium Monteverdi among the seeded teams. The pre-qualification was therefore in future only be played between Gachots Coloni, Giacomelli's Life and the two EuroBrun. In Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain Gachot was regularly faster than its competitors, so he passed the pre-qualification in each case. In the last two races of the year in Japan and Australia, the pre-qualification even fell completely off because EuroBrun and Life had previously set on racing. But even if Gachot regularly passed the pre-qualification in the autumn of 1990 and he was of the view that it is " finally up" issue in the team, he failed exception in the remaining Grand Prix events of the year on the main qualification. There was still the C3C about 20 km / h too slow to achieve a race entry. At the end of the year Coloni had not participated in the Grand Prix.
1991: No pre-qualification
Enzo Coloni had big plans for the 1991 Formula 1 season. In late autumn 1990, he had announced to launch a two- car team at the start. The basis for this optimism, the hope of the obligation of the first unsigned racer Andrea de Cesaris, who possessed sponsor funds from Marlboro. De Cesaris but not agreed with Coloni. Instead, he negotiated at the beginning of 1991 with AGS, but ultimately signed with the newly formed team Jordan Grand Prix. As a driver Coloni therefore remained alone the Portuguese Pedro Chaves, last season's champion of the British Formula 3000 Championship, which he had committed in the fall of 1990.
For Coloni meant the non- obligation de Cesaris ' that he did not get substantial financial resources. Chaves only brought a few small sponsors from Portugal, including the national energy company Galp and the Mateus Rosé wine brand; but they did not provide a substitute for the millions of cigarettes Philip Morris represents the new season could therefore again be only superficially prepared. At the beginning of his team of only six employees, mostly mechanics existed. Enzo Coloni took over as the financial situation during the year came to a head as early as 1989, again the role of race engineer.
In technical terms, there were no changes. The team announced the Coloni C4, which it described as new construction in a press release. In fact, the C4 was, however, only a revised version of last year C3C and probably used its monocoque constructed in 1989. Since Coloni no longer had its own development department, students of the University of Perugia had devised the few changes in a study work. When engine is a Cosworth DFR was used again, which was initially prepared by Langford & Peck. From the Canadian Grand Prix from a prepared hard engine was used.
Coloni was defeated in the 1991 season, again the pre-qualification. She had become necessary because competed with Jordan and the Modena team two new racing teams and a total of 36 cars competing for 26 starting positions. The pre-qualification proved to be an insurmountable hurdle for Coloni. In none of the 15 races that took part in the team, a Coloni driver was able to pre-qualify. In the first race of the year, Chaves was the one or the other time before Eric van de Poele (Modena team ) or before Olivier Grouillard ( Fondmetal Corse) position; since the Monaco Grand Prix, but he was almost regularly the slowest driver in the pre-qualification. The residue on a place, the person entitled to participate in the qualification was regularly more than two seconds, in individual cases, there were also five (San Marino ) or even eleven seconds ( Canada).
A major problem was the fact that Coloni could not vote suitable for racing their own car. For financial reasons, the team was only rarely able to test the C4. Apart from a short function test in Umbria Magione and the FOCA test at Imola in April 1990, no test drives were conducted so that no data were available that could help in the vote. To make matters worse, Chaves did not know many racetracks. Chaves later reported that he was often sent with a completely unprepared car on the track and the instruction was to make the best of it without damaging the car. But repair work on the car were not rare improvised. The problem was, after all, that the driver, the team manager and the mechanic could not communicate in a common language.
As in previous years, was the substance of the car not to Formula 1 level. Many parts were repaired outdated or poorly; the engine experienced since the early summer of 1990, no more revision. The reliability suffered from significantly. This meant that Chaves almost never was able to use the full 60 minutes that were available for the pre-qualification available. In most cases, he was able to leave the pit lane due to mechanical problems either only after a long delay - in Germany and Hungary, he was, for example, each due to a defective fuel pump more than 30 minutes idle in the box - or his car fell out prematurely due to technical defects. So broke both in San Marino and in Canada after a few laps the transmission or the power transmission. Since neither a car nor spare parts were available, every major fault, necessarily mean the end of efforts to pre-qualification.
In the second half of the season is no longer regularly maintained Cosworth engine was the main problem. For home race at Monza the team blew the engine is already warming up in the box; in the absence of a replacement engine Chaves could not even start in the pre-qualification. The low point was reached in the following race in Portugal, Chaves ' home race: Here, the engine suffered after ten rounds in the pre-qualification a valve damage. Again, Coloni had no spare engine, although Chaves had previously insisted. After this race Chaves finished his commitment to Coloni. For the subsequent Spanish Grand Prix Coloni failed to find a replacement driver - Luis Pérez- Sala had been addressed, but he refused - so the team had to skip this race. For the last two races of the year in Japan and Australia Coloni obliged the young debutant Naoki Hattori, who also failed in two attempts at pre-qualification. The flyaway funded the team mainly through private donations: Local race fans were allowed for a price of $ 250 per person affix their signature on the race car. Overall, Coloni was about 3000 prospects.
For both Chaves and Hattori for the single inserts in the formula remained the race for Coloni 1 Then they received no further racing opportunities in other teams more.
Renewed sale
Since the summer of 1991, Colonis finances were " in free fall ". Initially, there were reports of a possible merger with the Modena team; However, nothing came of it. Enzo Coloni therefore tried since July to sell his team. In September 1991, he finally found in the Italian shoe manufacturer Andrea Sassetti a buyer. Sassetti said to bring the team in 1992 under the name of Andrea Moda Formula at the start. Andrea Moda reported initially in 1992 a slightly revised Coloni C4B with Judd engine, but was excluded from participating in the first race of the season, because it was unclear whether Sassetti had bought in addition to the material Colonis its start authorization. After several weeks of negotiations and the establishment of a completely new car, the team was finally admitted to the Formula 1 World Championship back from the Grand Prix of Mexico.
The new beginning in smaller racing classes
→ Main article: Scuderia Coloni
As of the 1992 Enzo Colonis team that was now called Coloni Motorsport focused solely on the Italian Formula 3 Championship. Paolo Coloni, who was active as a driver for Coloni in the beginning, took over with time, supported by his father, the management of the family racing team. By 1996, Coloni was engaged in this championship. From 1997, Coloni Motorsport returned back to the International Formula 3000 Championship, in which it had already begun Eleven years earlier,. The team should be established in the following years to a fixed size in this class and at the beginning of the 2000s also enter a series of victories. In 2001, the Coloni Formula 3000 team Minardi and ran it parallel to his own team. As of 2005, Coloni Motorsport took the GP2 Series in part, the successor series of the formula 3,000. Between 2006 and 2009 the team was operated together with Giancarlo Fisichella under the name Fisichella Motor Sport International. In the summer of 2009, Fisichella and Coloni parted. Paolo Coloni was then once again the sole owner of the racing team, which he renamed the race in Valencia in Party Poker Racing Scuderia Coloni and later in Scuderia Coloni. Coloni ran 2005-2011, although a few victories; in the team standings however, there were at this time on the fifth (2006) no addition. 2011 won Colonis driver Luca Filippi three races and was runner up of the series; The team finished the season in seventh place team score.

In addition to writing the newspaper's Atticus column, he gained notice during the late 1960s and over the following decade for his profiles of public figures such as Elizabeth Taylor, P.G. Wodehouse and Muammar Gaddafi, and of musical artists, including James Brown, Little Richard, the Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart and the Everly Brothers.
Another of his assignments was to investigate and report on the problems afflicting the Beatles' multimedia company Apple Corps. In the 1970s, he also worked as The Times' rock music critic.
Norman's first book, Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation, was published in 1981. An immediate bestseller, it has since sold over 1 million copies. The New York Times described Shout! as "the definitive biography [of the Beatles] – comprehensive, intelligent, sensitively written and exhaustively researched", while the Chicago Sun-Times admired it as "The best, most detailed, and most serious biography of the Beatles and their time."
The book portrays Paul McCartney in an unfavourable light, and the former Beatle voiced his objections to Norman's characterisation of him as "the great manipulator". In his review of the most popular books about the group, in The Rough Guide to the Beatles, Chris Ingham writes that Norman displays a "clear dislike" for McCartney yet Shout! merits the praise it has received, due to "the rigour of its research and insightful reflection of the times". Writing in 2005, Beatles biographer Ian MacDonald said that Norman's book "remains the sharpest account of The Beatles' career" and suggested that its anti-McCartney sentiments were balanced by the 1997 publication of Barry Miles' Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now.
In October 2008 Norman's 800-page book John Lennon: The Life was released to some controversy. He has also published what the music journalism website Rock's Backpages describes as "definitive biographies" of Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones and Elton John. Additionally, Norman has authored six works of fiction, and two plays: The Man That Got Away and Words of Love.
